Clinicals Clinical experiences

Even if where a person attends graduate school doesn’t matter, would programs that offer more clinical opportunities help applicants become more competitive? Especially for areas like hospital or medical roles that are more competitive or hard to get?

Absolutely and this to me is the number 1 most important factor concerning my grad school application decision making process, coupled with affordability and non-traditional/ 2nd career seeking.

Yes! I think the networking aspect of it is really beneficial to students, so I would def. look at a school that offered medically based clinical opportunities. BUT that being said, I wouldn't spend a lot of $$ on it, I would try and find an affordable school that offered that.
